She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions.

Background and approach
Patricia integrates cognitive behavioral work to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She blends that with attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feeling and behavior. Mindfulness and emotion-focused strategies are used to help regulate strong feelings and repair connection.
With 15 years of experience in social services and independent practice, she has supported people through major life changes and persistent mental health struggles. Patricia describes therapy as a collaboration and will work with other professionals when needed to coordinate care. People who choose her often want clear tools and a warm, nonjudgmental space to practice them.
She invites clients who are ready to try new approaches and build routines that support long-term change. Starting often begins with small, manageable steps that fit into daily life.
How Patricia’s approach works online
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and build more supported ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life steps. It helps reduce anxiety and shift mood by changing what people do and think.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Patricia will talk with each person about their goals and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to prioritize thinking skills, emotional processing, or relationship patterns and adapt methods over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone check in or get short coaching between meetings. These options allow flexibility for work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and travel while keeping the same therapeutic approaches in use.
